Substack has evolved from a simple newsletter tool into a full-fledged creator platform, complete with social features, community threads, podcasts, and paid subscriptions. With more than 20 million people subscribed to at least one Substack, creators are asking: should I be on Substack, too? And if so, how do I grow?

Creator Steve Snyder of Club Trader Joe’s grew his free Substack to 16,000 subscribers, and now he’s wondering how to build on that momentum. Is Substack a viable way to build community, drive traffic, and open up a new revenue stream?

To answer his question we’ve invited best-selling author, podcaster, and Substack superstar Jo Piazza to share her advice. She joins our host Stephanie Woodin to explore how creators can use Substack to market their web sites and brands, grow their audience, deepen engagement, and potentially unlock new revenue—without burning out or abandoning their existing platforms.
